Do I need a Music Licence to play music in my shop?
If you play music in your shop via a radio, TV, CD or digital device you are legally required to have a Music Licence. You do not need a Music Licence if you play royalty free music.
So I don’t need a PRS/PPL Music Licence to use your service?
That’s correct. All the music we provide is produced by artists who have chosen to monetise their music in a different way so they are not registered with the PRS PPL collection agencies.
Is background music important in a shop?
Absolutely! From reinforcing your brand to providing a sense of privacy and comfort to your customers it's a key element to your in-store atmospherics.
Do you offer plenty of music choice?
We have over 32 playlists currently available covering 17 genres. We'll be adding more throughout the year.
Which playlist is right for my business?
We have lots of different playlists to cater for all types of businesses. Each has a description, genre tag and tempo tag to inform your choice and you can get in touch if you want some help from us.
Are you cheaper than buying a PRS PPL Music Licence?
Yes, we expect most reatilers to save about half the cost of the Music Licence when they swap to using our service.
Do I have to sign a contract?
No. Our service is offered on a monthly or annual subscription basis to provide you with flexibility
Are there any additional charges?
No. Your subscription gives you full access to the library. When we add new music you will have access to that as part of your subscription.
